There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

Grab em by the upper arm and squeeze ever so slightly, as a mother does.
If you are one of the people with more advanced class consciousness in the United States and suddenly the masses are supporting social democrats- you know what you need to do? Push people further than that, agitate. Not mindlessly glaze those people. Come on. Grab the lib by the shoulders and push!

I knew the Trump and Mamdani meeting would go well because Mamdani is conventionally attractive and Trump tends to like pretty people.
Genuinely one of the few situations where “it’s not that deep” actually tracks.

People erroneously assume communists have some innate desire for revolution and bloodshed, but the reality is most just understand it to be historically necessary and thus believe we should organize and learn in accordance with that knowledge.

Highly recommend @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s “They Knew: How a Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent”. She wrote it in 2022.
Reading Sarah’s work has prepared me for this moment, and I credit her with making me painfully in touch with reality.
Surprised her books haven’t been banned, tbh.

Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest.
It is the original form of protest.
To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.

THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we’re closer than we’ve ever been to an Epstein file release. They’re counting on folks not knowing definitively what’s real.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.
